Hello,
I want to work up some handloads for a new Vanguard S2 Carbine in 308 Win.
The barrel length is 20" with a 1 in 12" twist.
I have on hand some IMR 4895, some Winchester Large Rifle primers and some Lake City once fired brass. I ordered a Lee 4 die set so now all I need are bullets.
From research it looks like the gold standard projectile for accurate 308 Win handloads is the Sierra Match King 168 gr. I've read that a lot of M1A shooters love this bullet but what about for my new bolt action?
Is this a good bullet choice for this barrel length and twist rate?
Thanks in advance,
